Welcome to Earth.

Update: BioWare has now provided details and our first look at the upcoming Earth downloadable content. The multiplayer add-on will be available on July 17th on Xbox Live, Origin and PlayStation Network in North America. Europe will have the same dates for Origin and Xbox Live, but will be able to download the content on PSN a day later, on July 18th.

On top of that, BioWare’s Chris Priestly notes on Twitter that beginning today, all Mass Effect 3 Spectre Packs have a chance of containing an ultra-rare Prothean Particle Rifle, as seen below:

For now, the Earth content has only been confirmed for Xbox 360, but we’ve reached out to BioWare for additional details and to find out if it will hit PlayStation 3 and PC as well. Previous content packs including the Resurgence Pack and Rebellion Pack were available for all platforms and included new weapons, maps, consumables and characters.
